Deshima

On the 12th of May a new shop will be opened in Tokyo: Deshima. They focus on Dutch design, and it's done in cooperation with the Dutch Ambassey in Japan. The name comes from a historic memory.
Deshima was a small fan-shaped artificial island built in the bay of Nagasaki in 1634. Originally built to house Portugese traders, it was used by the Chinese and Dutch as a trading post from 1641 until 1853. It later was integrated into the city and has been designated a Japanese national historic site.
So now it's a small, lovely shop full of wonderful design products. The shop design is done by the Tokyo- based design company East Inc, they specialise in museum shops. I love their style. The lambs of my collection will be on sale there, which is an honour for me!
